Domaine d'Orfeuilles Dry Vouvray 2017

Domaine d'Orfeuilles Dry Vouvray 2017 is a characterful Chenin Blanc from the Loire, offering a beautifully pure expression of fruit, acidity, and minerality. Made from clay- and limestone-rich vineyards and farmed biodynamically, it reflects both the traditional soul of Vouvray and a hands-on, uncompromising approach in the cellar and the vineyard. Vouvray has been known for excellent wine since the Middle Ages, and this wine is a vivid reminder of why the region deserves far more attention.

Makuprofiili
Pale yellow in the glass, this wine opens with a fresh and inviting bouquet of white pear, green apple, lemon, grapefruit, honey, and a subtle hint of ground ginger. The palate is bright and lively, echoing the aromas with clean citrus and orchard fruit layered over a precise mineral backbone. It feels charming, focused, and distinctly true to Vouvray, with the structure and balance to develop gracefully in bottle over time. Chenin Blanc from this quality level can age very well, and this wine should reward cellaring. The wine’s freshness is one of its defining qualities, giving it both immediate appeal and the potential for further complexity as it matures. Over time, the fruit is likely to broaden and gain more honeyed, waxy, and mineral nuances.

Viininvalmistus
The grapes come from clay and limestone soils in Vouvray, where Chenin Blanc finds ideal conditions in the Loire’s cool climate and expressive terroir. Bernard Herivault farms according to biodynamic principles, using horses in the vineyard instead of machinery and harvesting and sorting by hand to preserve fruit quality. The winemaking aims for a very clean, natural expression, with minimal intervention so the fruit, acidity, and mineral character can shine through.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This dry Vouvray pairs well with shellfish, grilled white fish, roast chicken, goat’s cheese, asparagus, and dishes with creamy or lightly spicy sauces. Serve it chilled at around 8–10°C to preserve its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting is not necessary, though a short period in the glass can help the wine open up.

Tuottaja
Domaine d'Orfeuilles was founded by Paul Herivault in 1947 on the site of an old medieval castle, and today it is run by his son, Bernard Herivault. The estate is highly regarded in Vouvray for its committed biodynamic farming and its faithful, artisanal approach to Chenin Blanc. Its wines are known for purity, originality, and impressive aging potential, with Bernard’s bottles regularly showing how expressive and long-lived Vouvray can be.
